1865 x3

[Ill Digger]

Finally got a chance to get out and do a little detecting this weekend! <:

Saturday I spotted a old house for rent with the For Rent sign out in front with a phone number on it. I called the number, talked to the owner and within minutes was diggin'! thumbsup01
The finds weren't overflowing by any means but I did manage a few wheats and a 1865 IH

Todays Hunt ;) lol We were on our way to an old faithful place to swing for a couple of hours. While driving there we pasted a place we've been google eyeing for some time and spotted the owner out in his driveway. So we pulled in. Asked for permission and once again within minutes we dawned our gear and started swinging! thumbsup01 The first hole I dug was a ..... 1865 IH! :shocked04: :huh: A short while later I found my second ever 2 center! <: :happydance01: happydance02 It's a...... yeah you guessed it....it's a 1865!?! 8/ Wow weird is that? lol

While hunting the new place I got w 01-43,04-45 at 4-5 inches :drool: Turned out to be the most intact pocket watch I've ever found.
Not only is it almost nearly all intact but it's a Mickey Mouse pocket watch! :cool: thumbsup01
Here it is with the fob(found in different locations).

Long live 1865. What are the odds. Maybe you should try for 1795 lol. Nice hunting and WTG on getting permission.

[Tony Two-Cent]

Wow, you are certainly making up for lost time, Tim! :yes:

Those are some terrific finds! I especially love the two-cent piece, of course! :envious: How cool finding two 1865 Indians Heads too!

The Mickey Mouse watch is a great find also! I wonder how old it is?

Congrats on todays hunt! thumbsup01

[Snapolson]

[pulltabsteve]

Nice bunch of finds Tim. The Mickey Mouse pocket watch is a keep. May even be worth some $. Congrats on the weird 3 1865s :perfect10: |:cheering:

[OxShoeDrew]

That pocket watch looks like its from the 30s. They made some commemorative copies in the 90s but your's looks old. I'm no expert in anything MDing related, but after a quick search, I found this, Mickey Mouse Original Style 1930s Expo Connecticut Ingersoll Disney Collectors Pocket Watch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6fElvae7bk#ws)
Oh...and your other finds are excellent as well. |:cheering:

[z118]

Yowza, those are some sweet digs. Anything 1800's would make my day... and that Mickey watch is something else! Congrats!

[mike l]

Nice civil war trifecta and the pocket watch WOW :peace: :beerbuddy:

[milco]

Great finds! Old Mickey Mouse stuff is highly desirable, so that is a cool find, and the old coins are awesome!

[Fire Fighter 43]

WTG Tim, I'm glad to see you got out. The two center is an awesome find (still on my wish list)and the watch is very cool. |:cheering:
